Common Addictions

Being sorry for myself is a luxury I can't afford.

Stephen King

One of the more memorable stories of the morning: A man from Africa spent 10 minutes telling me his life story on the Spadina streetcar. He told me how I should channel God. I should teach my future children about the law and structure of society or else they will be failed human beings. How he was arrested in Africa and almost arrested here (in Canada). How he used to linger outside young women’s homes until he developed “dangerous” feelings and knew God wanted him to stop. And the reason why I’m smiley is because I have a chill spirit. High strung people, apparently, cannot smile - they are doomed to wear frowns. Only serene and collected people get to smile and grow. Like the roots of trees that spread and flourish. “Very nice, very nice”. // While this was happening I was in complete silence - nodding. When he had to get off the streetcar I managed to say “have a nice day” and then gave out a huge sigh of relief.

The work you do while you procrastinate is probably the work you should do for the rest of your life.

high park, toronto

Captured moments of this past month in our new home and neighbourhood. I'm trying to not let the feeling of being idle and settled get me down but sometimes it's hard. I'm currently listening to Bon Iver's new album, listening to the thunderstorm outside of my window and trying to not feel too cheesy.

the most exhausting girl you'll ever know.

the Baker

I love and miss this very special lady! She is unbelievably talented, beautiful and we laugh until we choke on the regular. We had the amazing opportunity to meet up in Korea and Thailand! wow, what a blast.

Hurry home and cuddle in bed and drink out of buckets with me!
